The effects of brainrot and flooding babies with dopamine“
Are kids really this brainrotted from TikTok and other social media?
Okay, so I teach in higher ed, so I cannot comment for the behaviour of primary or secondary students in the context of education. However, I visited my step-sisters school recently for her violin concert, and it's just... bad. I thought to post here to check whether I am just imagining things, or if it is really this bad.
People always say that every generation thinks the younger generation is getting weird, and is crazier. But I believe that what I am witnessing of the gen alphas is just completely different from the type of rebellion of my generation (gen z).
Immediately when I arrived at the concert, I had a girl maybe between 13 and 15 years old scoff at me, and say "Can I give you a suggestion? Get yourself color-analyzed, the orange jacket looks really bad on you and makes your skin texture look terrible." I swear, if I spoke to older people like that when I was that age, I would've had my butt whooped, for the lack of a better term.
I spoke to my sister about this. Long story short, many girls in her age group (12-16) are already talking about finding a rich guy to date so they don't have to work. It's that TikTok brainrot "sprinkle sprinkle" nonsense (I had to literally search to find out exactly what she was talking about). Likewise, lot's of boys are Tate fans. My sister told me one of her friends is planning to drop out of school the moment she finds an "older provider man".
Kids (not even necessarily 16-year-old teenagers, but kids as young as 10) are obsessed with money, aesthetics, skincare, etc. I had my things at that age too. But it's quite different. I remember that girls from my high school took a job on the side to be able to buy their first luxury purse. Now, everyone is getting themselves into serious debt in the pursuit of this stuff - or worse, doing something at the very least legally questionable on the side.
It's really bad. Please share your experiences. For context: this is in Europe, so I can only imagine what it may be like in North America, or elsewhere. “
Btw, sprinkle sprinkle? Whats that
